How about "Love and respect for all, but women only spaces are important." I suspect that isn't going to satisfy you as a rallying call though.

No. But if you can express the same gender critical view whilst giving either no or less offence, that is the morally correct course, all other things being equal.
Sure but in practice you can't say the definition of woman at all without giving offence. The offence taking dial has been turned to 10 for every possible expression of it. So using the offence taking as a measure of the morality of the people using the definition will be off.

This meeting was basically a 2 hr long recitation of 'love & respect all' etc...) People were so offended by it they banged on the windows the whole time (they could have come in). By your formula the people who held the meeting were morally in the wrong?https://womansplaceuk.org/2019/09/26/i-am-not-your-enemy-lets-talk/ …

The taking of offence becomes a tool to suppress the view. The culture where the statement becomes offensive tilts the table of public debate. In that context the willingness or even the desire to cause a little offence becomes legitimate and indeed laudable.
